Welcome to Plan Canvas

Superior Planning for today's Warfighter

Plan Canvas is an introduction to Sketch-Thru-Plan (STP) Server providing a glimpse into the full API. 

JavaScript SDK GitHub repository

​

Plan Canvas is only an app sample but highlights the simplicity of an unencumbered surface enabling the creative process of planning with freehand sketching and natural language (spoken military doctrine).

​

As with any NLP system, you need to know what to say so we provide basic instructions and sample script below to plan a complex Course of Action with STP Server in a matter of minutes. In the full STP API, you will have access to 1000s of units, facilities and tactical graphics as well as a search tool to help you find any graphic and to configure your own speech.

​

If Plan Canvas interests you, contact us to get a private training session and to learn about the additional capabilities with the full STP Server API.

Only one rule to follow

Rule #1 - Click mouse before *speaking the military unit or tactical graphic

 *Computer microphone must be enabled (boom style headsets work the best)
